You're listening to On attachment, a place to learn about how attachment shapes the way we experience

relationships and where you'll gain the guidance, knowledge and practical tools to overcome

insecurity and build healthy thriving relationships.

I'm your host, relationship coach Stephanie Rigg, and I'm really glad you're here.

Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of On Attachment. In today's episode I'm going to be answering the

community question of is it ever a good idea to take a break in a relationship and talking about a lot of associated questions like when is it a good idea to take a break, how should we

go about taking a break in a relationship, what is best practice there, what are some things to ask yourself and

consider, maybe talk about with your partner, before you take that step of taking a

break in a relationship, short of actually breaking up and that will be one of the things as a bit of a spoiler alert that you should absolutely be clear on with your partner what the boundaries of that arrangement are going to be.

Before we dive into that, just wanted to share the featured review for today, which is,

my husband and I are loving the episodes that we've listened to so far. They're very insightful and the topics

feel super relatable. Also the bite-size length is an added bonus. Thank you so much

for that beautiful review. If that was yours, please send an email to

podcast at Stephanie Rigg.com and my team will set you up with free access to one of my master classes.

Given that you and your husband are listening together, I would recommend my how to navigate anxious

avoidant relationships masterclass of course I don't know whether you and

your husband fall into that category but it is a really great masterclass

for couples and I've had a lot of people watch the master class as a couple and come

away with it with much greater understanding of one another tools and compassion for the other

person's experience and thereby a lot more connection with one another.

So if you and your husband do fall into that category of anxious, avoidant dynamics, I definitely recommend. Setting an email to my of
